It’s a lot easier to improve a bad team than a treble winning team, but Brendan Rodgers has the latter challenge ahead this summer. One of his principle objectives will be to retain Stuart Armstrong on a new deal. As CQN reported this morning, good progress has been made on that front.
Loving the updates from the Celtic FC Foundation delegation, currently in Malawi with Mary’s Meals. You can follow the remarkable updates from LeftyBhoy here.
This work is being done in your name, with funds you helped raise. Keep an eye on what is being achieved.
Just landed for two days R&R in Belfast. Not been since the mid-90s……….. Off to find a pub and some rich culture…… Recommendations welcome but no messing!!!

Jonny Hayes eh. Oh dear.
Celtic not building from a position of strength is of course a rite of passage for us.
Let’s face it. Money is more important that football success after all…….

I realise you are hurting, but you could at least wait until our Treble winning, Invincible Manager has finalised his squad for the coming season before passing comment. The window has been open for 5 minutes and he is on Honeymoon. That post was pretty pathetic and small-minded.

When we were in Dublin last Easter, my son and I walked out our hotel along Raglan Road.
My son said to me,”I think I have heard of Raglan Road fae somewhere da.” :)))
Delaneys
Paul Byrne dined out on that Ibrox equaliser a lot…an awful lot
Played against him and David Speedie a few years back ( Speedie was living in Dublin ,might still be,not a very nice guy) Byrne was like the Michelin Man’s older fatter brother.
WITS
Hope Jonny Hayes turns out to be our greatest Dub in the Hoops.
DD
I hope he does well,but to be honest I cant see him dis placing any of our regular starting 11
Its a great move for him and he will be a very good player to have in the squad.Maybe Brendan can improve him and maybe we will see him become a better player by having better players around him.

Your last sentence just about sums Neg up. He is never happier unless he is moaning about the board.
WHAT IS THE STARS on 14TH JUNE 2017 11:16 PM
Macjay @ 10.25
No one scoring political points here.
People are simply pointing out that the residents had voiced serious concerns about the fire safety procedures at the flat block. Their voices seemed to have gone unheeded
Is it just a coincidence that the tragedy has occurred while the current government has a policy of light regulation and not interfering in the” market place” .I think not.
Now imagine if the fire had been started deliberately by ..oh let’s just say a Syrian refugee. .I am sure you wouldn’t have been on attempting to score political points about the demonic wave of refugees coming to Europe to kill us all
=======================================
PARTY political. Ideological is what I said.
Read back ,pal.
Tory. May. Capitalism.
Hanged by the CQN jury even before the tragic fire is extinguished.
The safety of Britons in not a party political or ideological issue .
Nor should it be.
BTW.
The shootings of Republicans in USA was carried out by an active supporter of Bernie Sanders .
The jury is not out on that one.
OK
You got me.
WITS
A bit of Dub humour about the place should be good too. You bhoys take nothing serious which I love. :))

MACJAY1 @ 10:25 PM,
You were the first, or one of the first to post…
Re: The Manchester Arena terrorist attack and The Borough Market, London terrorist attack.
On both occasions you did not express Condolences for the victims and made “Political” points.
Surely you can’t have it both ways…
Hail Hail
=================================================================
Nor would I want it both ways.
This was not a party political or ideological issue.
This was an issue about the safety of UK citizens and the gross dereliction of duty of both the major political parties .
There is significant evidence now that the Brexit vote was carried by voters who did not follow party allegiances.
And quite right too.
Safety is the issue.
Sadly , attempts are only now being made to shut the stable door.
Johnny Hayes.
Brendan has earned the right to make the call and in the unlikely event that he gets it wrong , well he has earned that right as well .
Unless this is a P.L. signing on the cheap , so he can upgrade his Merc. or Lambo.
:-)
Macjay
Jonny Hayes is Brendan’s signing. They worked together at Reading over a decade ago. Brendan rates Jonny highly as a football player and human being who lives a good life.
JH will surprise many sceptics.
MacJay
Im sorry to say this, but you dont have a clue what you are talking about.
I cant even be bothered exposing your deficient thinking….you are blinded by a lie.
You dont care about people, you are more interested in defending Tory policy; from arms, to the DWP, to fire regulation.
You have had a compassion bypass somewhere along the line, and you refuse to accept that most people disagree with you….nothing new with Tories.
The majority of the people in the UK(which you dont live in), are violently opposed to the Conservatives, which you just will not accept, for your own selfish motives, just like Theresa May and the rest of the FKwits.
Dont expect sympathy for your views on CQN….you are in a very small minority.

===============================================
Johnny Hayes has impressed me since I first saw him with Inverness , was it ?
If he gets the kind of service Celtic can provide , he may indeed turn out to be a huge asset .
He`s fast. Brendan likes fast.
Leigh Griffiths was always good before he came to us.
He`s now great imho under the tutelage of Brendan.
Johnny , should we sign him, will only get better.
TGM
You and Macjay are from the same part of Glasgow. Your views are polar opposite. If you met Macjay you would get on well. I think he is a bit of a wind up on here at times. I liked the man when I met him. An intelligent handsome Tim, like you and I. :))
THE GREEN MAN SAYS SACK THE BOARD on 15TH JUNE 2017 12:19 AM
Never the twain shall meet.
My dear TGM.
You seem to care more about me than I do.
As if I mattered.
I`m not the issue.
DD
Ive no doubt bud.
However, i cant accept the tory lies.
Its an insult to the intelligence.
Seriously.
HH
London fire
To the souls lost…RIP
To the devastated families and loved ones…deepest sympathy
To the fire department and all who assisted…heartfelt gratitude
To those responsible…shame and scorn

I only went to school in St Columba`s , Maryhill.
A few years behind the venerable and aged Thomthethim.
My mum taught there before upgrading hugely to San Pablo , Whiteinch where she was my first teacher.
Nepotism .
:-)
MacJay
You must know that people like me wont accept your silly narrative.
I tried to point out how your arguments and attitude were guided by hackneyed tory bs…..Edmund Burke, Winston Churchill, and so on.
I dont know if you realize that your discourse has been standard tory fodder for 250 years .
Nothing you say is original, its well -worn and tattered….and so, so easy to rebut.
Its the politics class hatred and rank stupidity.
I suggest you might like to look at Edmund Burke’s address to the electors of Bristol.
Then you will understand where your inept discourse originated.
Wonder how Tory voting Catholics feel now?
Wonder how those 72 Tory landlords who voted against making homes “FIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION” feel now?
Wonder how Cameron, who was hell bent on destroying Health & Safety regulations, feels now?
Wonder how Theresa May’s new Chief of Staff, Gavin Barwell, feels about sitting on a report warning about high rise flats, like Grenfell Tower, were vulnerable to fire?
I already know the answer.
They don’t give a shit.
But, thankfully we have a com[pliant media who will let them wriggle out of it.
But you’re right Macjay. Not the time for cheap political point scoring.
BTW, I asked you a question ages ago, are you an immigrant or the child of an immigrant?
Macjay
Sao Paolo Whiteinch was where I was baptised and started school. Your mum was a beautiful organist.
Hail Glorious Saint Patrick was my favourite.
My dad loved your mums playing.
Lovely memories of the faithful departed.
God bless them and us.
THETIMREAPER
Neg, to use his sobriquet, is rightly wary about the Hayes signing, as he experienced the pain of the dreaded “Willo Flood Window.” Shivers
Now, assuming he is signed, I believe as I said last night, that we have given up on Paddy.
I’m sure he will be a useful addition to the squad and will help get us through the CL qualifiers.
Whether he will help raise our level in the SPFL and CL groups is open to conjecture and his merits and defects need to be openly expressed and discussed.
With GMS headed elsewhere, James’ injury problems, I believe he is a good signing at this point, but not one which will improve our CL prospects.
Unless BR improves him.
MACJAY1 @ 12:08 AM,
CQN can get down and dirty, I’m a big boy so no issues from me. Now this evening you said this: “How sad to see this day of utter tragedy being hijacked for party political and ideological purposes…”
After the Borough Market Terrorist attack there was many a fine and heart felt post on here but it was WAY over-shadowed – CQN was a disgrace that night.
Now I believe the Moderators on this site give you a lot of leeway.
That morning many CQNers woke up to be outraged and appalled by what had been posted, as I said, it was a disgrace – remember what the Mods said?
MODERATOR 2 @ 12:34 PM,
“Busiest shift I’ve had in a long time. Lost count of number of posts deleted, some where reference or reposting of deleted posts. If you cannot be respectful go somewhere else. Macjay and Matts Nilloc worst offenders. If I have missed any please direct me to them.”
And you come on here to Castigate posters…
You Sir, Have one heck of a Brass Neck…
Hail Hail
Chairbhoy
Good post, and accurate.

CHAIRBHOY on 15TH JUNE 2017 12:52 AM
” Macjay and Matts Nilloc ”
Yes.
I`ve suspected for some time that the Mods here are guilty of double standards .
DELANEYS DUNKY on 15TH JUNE 2017 12:44 AM
Thank you.
Much appreciated.
Was caught up in a fire once in Gartnavel nurses home. The nurse I was with and I pulled a guy in the kitchen out. Thought I was about to die wi the choking smoke. Scariest night of my life. Thought I was gone.
Morning all
Body clock now somewhere over the Atlantic
I have followed the events of the last 24 hours from London with a certain numbness and considerable sympathy for all those effected. I was once in a close- in Edinburgh where there was a fire -and for a few minutes it was as terrifying as anything I am ever likely to experience. I can though still barely grasp how terrifying things must have been for those in that block. I can only hope that the death toll does not rise significantly higher than it already stands at.
I can understand why there is also anger in London and elsewhere but until the truth becomes clear as to what caused the blaze I am less inclined to apportion blame than some are here and elsewhere Now does not seem to be quite the right time.
And yet I find it hard not to think that this will prove to have been another calamity like Aberfan or Hillsborough which many on the ground had forecast – for literally years before hand. Another instance where those with an absolute duty of care have neglected that duty for reasons that will- if past disasters are anything to go by- remain officially obscure for decades .
24 hours after the disaster all all I can do is hope and pray that the scale of disaster does not prove to be as large as I fear it will be whilst offering my condolences to those who have lost loved ones. Attribution of blame belongs to another day

The way that building went up is unprecedented. Thats all i’m saying, since the 70s there have been thousands of fires in tower blocks. None have gone this way. Unprecedented.
JIMBO67 on 15TH JUNE 2017 1:14 AM
Well said.
A thoughtful ,sound and sober assessment.
MACJAY1 @ 1:02 AM,
“I`ve suspected for some time that the Mods here are guilty of double standards”
Well, they seem to be inconsistent that’s for sure.
And double standards… definitely, they have allowed many of your tendentious posts to stay… a situation that I’m fine with BTW.
Yet when a Rangers MKII Supporter, makes Monkey gestures at a Celtic Player. The Official narrative is one of Outrage and Main articles are written about how disgraceful this Xenophobia is…
Hail Hail
Barney
No another false flag shirley?
DD, i just find it very strange.
Barney
I am surprised there hisnae been a ISIS connection yet in the MSM.
CHAIRBHOY on 15TH JUNE 2017 1:27 AM
By ” tendentious ” do you mean that which does not follow the official party line or is it just an opinion with which you disagree ? Or perhaps both ?
How many fridges have you ever heard of ‘exploding’? What?
Barney
Fridges full of semtex could explode.
DD, i’m not suggesting that. Its funny most of the victims seem to be Muslim though.
